Summer Nike Skill Academies are Success
Posted by Ganon Baker at 3:10 pm
June 19 – 22 Ganon traveled to Phoenix where he directed the Amare Stoudemire Skill Academy. June 25-28 Ganon directed the Vince Carter Skill Academy in Orlando, Florida. July 5-9 Ganon directed the LeBron Skill Academy in Akron, Ohio. Ganon also had a chance to work with Point Guard, Chris Paul.
“The goal of the Skills Academies is to instill the fundamentals into the next generation of top players. Each academy focuses on strength and conditioning and skill development. In addition to the on-court instruction the players also get to hear from the NBA athlete and the coaches on life lessons and what it takes to make it at the next level”
